Real Housewives

It's over as fast as it started ... Adrienne Maloof and Paul Nassif have settled their divorce ... TMZ has learned.

As you know ... the 2 were locked in a battle royale ... restraining orders, vicious accusations and a lot of bad blood.

But in a joint statement obtained by TMZ, Paul and Adrienne say, "We're happy to announce we have reached agreement on a settlement," adding they are both pleased.

They go on, "There has been so much untrue negative innuendo and destructive rumors beyond our control ..."

In the statement, which we got from their rep, Jim Yeager, Adrienne and Paul say, "We want the best for each other and we're confident we can help each other make a continuing positive impact with our children."

They go on, "Our goal is for our children to have stable and nurturing relationships with both of us so we can all find as much happiness as possible."

They end with this ... "We appreciate the good wishes we continue to receive from our supporters around the world."

Lee Najjar -- who was known on "Real Housewives" as Kim Zolciak's mysterious ex-sugar daddy "Big Poppa" -- was arrested in Atlanta this week ... TMZ has learned.

Najjar was taken into custody by the Fulton County Sheriff's Dept. on November 6 ... though it's unclear why he was arrested.

According to law enforcement, Najjar has since been released from custody.

Najjar has developed a reputation as a fame whore ... especially when it came to flaunting his wealth. Back in 2009, he showed off his ATL mansion on an episode of MTV's "Teen Cribs" ... and then funded Kim Z's ridiculous spending sprees back when he was nailing her.

9:42 AM PT -- We've learned ... Najjar had a bench warrant out for his arrest for failing to appear in court to face allegations he failed to maintain a storm water system at one of his properties.

'Real Housewives' star Joanna Krupa is two things -- ridiculously hot in a bikini, and definitely NOT a hooker .. because she said she's not. Case closed. Now, camera whoring ...

Ridiculously sexy "Real Housewives of Miami" star Joanna Krupa got the ride of her life ... by straddling her very lucky fiancé Romain Zago in the nippy waters off South Beach this weekend.

The 33-year-old smokin' hot bombshell showed off her perfect Polish lady parts in an environmentally friendly green bikini.

Joanna is really wrapped up in her man.

Here's the lovely Kim Zolciak on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" on Sunday (left) -- and Cousin Itt from the classic '60s TV series "The Addams Family" (right).

Only one is wearing a good wig.

Former NFL star Bob Whitfield has 21 days to fork over $75,000 to his reality star ex-wife Sheree Whitfield for overdue child support ... or else.

According to legal docs obtained by TMZ ... Bob admits he failed to make 38 monthly child support payments of $2,142 to the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star ... more than $81k.

Bob claimed he simply didn't have the money -- and had asked the court to lower his obligation ... but that was denied.

Now, the two sides have struck a deal in which Bob has agreed to hand over $75k before Nov. 11 ... or face the consequences in court.

In addition to the $75k, Bob has also agreed to pay $1,000 per month for the next 12 months -- before reverting back to the original $2,142.

There are absolutely ZERO PLANS to bring Danielle Staub back to "Real Housewives" ... despite her meeting with Andy Cohen ... this according to very well-placed sources.

TMZ posted footage of Staub exiting a meeting with the Bravo honcho earlier this week ... and she hinted that a possible return to the "Real Housewives of New Jersey" could be in the works.

But network sources tell TMZ ... Staub left such a bad taste in the mouths of producers when she was fired from the show back in 2010, that there's NO WAY they would even consider bringing her back.

Kim Zolciak's two young daughters have sworn under oath ... they DO NOT want to be forced to spend time with their grandmother ... claiming she's nothing but a disrespectful old lady.

The kids are responding to a lawsuit filed by Kim's mom Karen Zolciak -- who wanted the court to FORCE Kim to let her spend time with her granddaughters.

In her docs, Karen had claimed Kim cut her off from the kids back in 2011 ... simply because she used an off-limits indoor bathroom instead of a porta-potty at Kim's televised wedding to NFL player Kroy Biermann.

Now, Kim's kids -- Ariana and Brielle Zolciak (ages 11 & 15) -- have submitted sworn affidavits to the court ... in which they beg the judge to shut Grandma down, explaining, "We both love our grandparents, but due to their actions at the wedding of [Kim and Kroy] ... we have grown apart."

The girls say they have no real desire to see their grandparents ... and insist they have too much going on in their lives to be forced to hang with Granny for overnight visitations.

In the docs, the girls also fire back at Grandma's claims that Kim pushes them into the spotlight -- saying, "We do not live a crazy or abnormal life. We are not forced to appear on television with our mother."

The girls -- and Kim -- are asking the judge to throw out Karen's case. Kim also wants her mom to pay for her legal costs.

Gonna be a fun Thanksgiving.

THE B*TCH IS BACK ... well, almost ... 'cause Danielle Staub says she had a meeting with Bravo honcho Andy Cohen yesterday and claims they totally talked "Housewives."

Staub -- who was booted from "Real Housewives of New Jersey" in 2010 -- was in NYC with her daughter yesterday when she told us about the sit-down with Cohen.

"It was a general meeting," Staub says ... adding, "There was a lot of talk about everything -- including Housewives."

As for rumors that Staub ALREADY has a deal in place to return to the show, Staub says it's bogus ... nothing is official ... yet.

But if she does return, it's gonna be great -- 'cause it's clear she still HATES her former castmates. When we asked if she's spoken to any of the women, Staub shot back -- "No, I have absolutely no interest in speaking to any of them."

Dr. Paul Nassif has been a prominent member of an anti-domestic violence charity for years, TMZ has learned -- and he's even been invited to a big event THIS WEEK ... despite allegations he beat his wife Adrienne Maloof.

Organizers of the Face to Face charity in NYC emailed Nassif this week to confirm his attendance at the event. The charity offers victims of domestic abuse free reconstructive surgery ... and Nassif, a well-known plastic surgeon, has been on the executive committee for years.

In fact, we've learned Nassif was honored with Adrienne just last year at the charity's 9th annual benefit for the couple's "ongoing commitment to improving the lives of victims of domestic violence."

It's pretty crazy ... considering Nassif's invitation to this week's event was confirmed AFTER Adrienne accused him of beating her and attacking their children.

Dr. Paul Nassif's lawyer tells TMZ, his client absolutely, positively did NOT inflict the bruises and marks depicted in disturbing photos released by Adrienne Maloof's personal chef.

Adrienne's chef Bernie Guzman -- who has appeared on several episodes of "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" -- just posted the eight photos on his Facebook page, strongly insinuating Paul is responsible for the injuries.

Bernie wrote several messages on his wall as he posted the photos, saying, "ADRIENNE MALOOF WAS PUSHED TO THE GROUND. PUNCHED & BEATEN ... HE IS A BEAST."

Bernie goes on: "THIS IS ABOUT SAVING THE LIFE. OF A MOTHER AND HER CHILDREN ... EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE THESE PICTURES ... NOW!"

Dr. Nassif's lawyer, Marty Singer, tells TMZ, "Any suggestion that the photos show my client struck Adrienne Maloof is a complete fabrication." Singer goes on, "No physical assault ever occurred."

An actress/restaurant server claims she was the victim of sexual assault and battery at Lisa Vanderpump's Beverly Hills Restaurant, Villa Blanca, and she's suing Lisa and the man she claims did the dirty deeds for more than $5 million.

Karina Bustillos -- who has appeared in "The Mexican Conspiracy" and "86'd" -- claims in April, a Villa Blanca manager, Michael Govia, told her to close her eyes. She says when she eventually opened them, Govia's mouth was open with his tongue sticking out, right by her mouth, in an attempt to kiss her.

Bustillos says she complained and then Govia began retaliating, calling her a "bitch" and a "c**t" and telling other servers he could "get her" -- implying he could sleep with her if he wanted.

She says in August, Govia allegedly approached her and aggressively twisted her wrists. She says when she asked him to stop, he responded, "I will do whatever I want. I'm the manager."

Bustillos says she complained to others but no action was taken. Bustillos also says Lisa Vanderpump gave her the cold shoulder after she complained.

Bustillos, who claims she was forced to quit, is suing Lisa, her husband, Ken Todd, the restaurant and Govia for more than $5 mil.

"Real Housewives of Miami" star Peter Rosello was arrested for battery today after socking a homeless man in the balls last week, this according to law enforcement.

20-year-old Rosello -- the son of housewife Alexia Echevarria -- was arrested for simple battery, which was categorized as a felony on the police report because Rosello attacked a homeless person.

As we reported, Florida has a law that classifies attacks on homeless people as hate crimes, meaning they carry stricter penalties.

He's currently being held on $5,000 bond.

TMZ broke the story ... Rosello stupidly posted video of the incident online last week, showing him sneaking up on a sleeping homeless man and punching him in the groin. The homeless man was contacted by police shortly after and the man decided to press charges.

Dr. Paul Nassif wants way more than the custody arrangement he just settled for -- which gives Adrienne Maloof the lion's share of time with their 3 kids -- we've learned he's gunning for a 50/50 split.

We broke the story, Nassif and Adrienne Maloof reached a temporary deal Monday ... in which Adrienne gets weekdays and every other weekend with the children.

As part of the deal, Maloof agreed to drop the temporary restraining order against Nassif that barred him from interacting with the kids without a monitor present.

Short story -- while Adrienne's allegations were pending, Paul was in a tight spot. Although he denies the claims ... he had to cut a deal now, or not see the kids.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... Paul is getting his ducks in a row to fight any lingering allegations against him, and he's going back to court in January with the end game of joint custody.

Adrienne Maloof and her estranged husband Paul Nassif have settled their nasty custody battle, TMZ has learned -- and Adrienne gets the lion's share of time with the children.

Sources close to the warring couple tell TMZ, Adrienne gets weekdays and every other weekend with their three sons. Paul gets to see them every other weekend, overnights included.

Paul and Adrienne were set to battle out their custody dispute in court tomorrow, but we're told they've already called a truce -- and both sides are happy with the new arrangement.

As for the messy allegations coming from both sides -- including allegations of child abuse -- we're told Paul and Adrienne have agreed to employ full-time security to watch over the children at all times.

10:02 AM PT -- Sources close to the couple tell TMZ, the custody settlement is only temporary. Paul and Adrienne will revisit the agreement in 90 days when they plan to implement a permanent schedule.

We're told Adrienne is happy the kids have "one primary home" but is glad they still get to see their dad.

Adrienne Maloof has no problem overlooking Chris Brown's violent history -- telling TMZ she LOVES him -- even as she's accusing her estranged husband of abusing their children.

Maloof -- who is knee deep in a nasty divorce with Dr. Paul Nassif -- was outside B.O.A. Steakhouse Friday night ... when we asked the question on everyone's mind ... what she thinks of Rihanna and Chris Brown reuniting?

Maloof skirted the question at first, but finally says ... "I love Chris Brown, he's very talented. My children love his music. He's awesome."

Interesting comment ... considering Adrienne is getting ready to square off with Paul in a child custody dispute filled with allegations of violence against their 3 boys.

As TMZ reported, Adrienne was recently awarded temporary custody of the kids when she accused Paul of physically abusing them -- a claim Paul adamantly denies.
